This is a new concept for collecting textiles where the money comes back to you. The high costs associated with traditional door to door collection methods mean at the charities that do not have their own shops (which are the majority of them) only benefit to the tune of between 20p and Ј1 for a 10kg bag, and much less for bags in clothing banks. By comparison a 10kg bag under the Cash4Clothes scheme will generate Ј5.00. Door to door schemes are labour intensive and involve the distribution of more than a hundred million donation bags every year, the vast majority of which are thrown away unused.

With Cash4Clothes you use any bags, and then just call our dedicated number to arrange a collection. Our collectors will weigh your bags and pay Ј0.50 per Kg for the items - this equates to Ј500 per tonne - or Ј5.00 for a 10Kg bag. All clothing collected by Cash4Clothes is sold to importers and wholesalers in Eastern and Western Europe, Africa and Asia for reuse as clothing. Regardless of whether clothes are given to charities, clothing banks, council collections or Cash4Clothes, this is where the goods are sold. 80% of unwanted clothing goes for reuse as clothes and the other 20% enters the recycling industry for mattress stuffing, automotive applications, socks, blankets and the industrial wipertrade.

As a nation we throw away over 1 million tonnes of clothes every year and DEFRA consider textiles as the fastest growing item entering the waste stream.lf you want to donate part or all of your proceeds from a Cash4Clothes collection to a charity, there are options on the web which enable this to be done efficiently - www.justgiving.com can convert a Ј10 donation into a gift of Ј12 to a charity of your choice if you are a UK taxpayer.
